Fair use rationale for Image:Efini logo.gif

[edit]

Image:Efini logo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:51, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The name

[edit]

The current article title (Ẽfini) is still not actually correct. The name is the IPA representation [ɛ͂nfini] of the (French) pronunciation of 'Infini', the French for "Infinite'. The first character is a (lower-case) curly-e plus tilde to indicate nasalization. (Requires Unicode combining characters.) I added some notes about this a long time ago, which were progressively deleted: I imagine many people find it difficult to believe that a Japanese product name would be the IPA for a foreign word, but it is not surprising to anyone familiar with Japanese naming customs. Here are some references:

I suggest the page should be moved, but I am not sure about obscure characters in article names (it should also be a lowercase letter as is all IPA). Imaginatorium (talk) 19:32, 15 October 2013 (UTC) (formatted Imaginatorium (talk) 13:28, 21 March 2014 (UTC))[reply]
